The mean solar flux at the earths surface is 2.00Jcm-2 min-1. In a nonfocusing solar collector, the tempature can reach a value of 85.

The mean solar flux at the earths surface is 2.00Jcm-2 min-1. In a nonfocusing solar collector, the tempature can reach a value of 85.0C. Aheat engine is operated using the collector as the hot resevoir and a cold resevoir at 298K. Calculate the area of the collector needed to produce one horsepower(1hp=746watts). assume that the engine operates at the maximum carnot efficiency
